The Rowevoltors win probably hold
a convention in July or August and
name a ticket.
The Taft crowd say they are not at
all worried over the new party, say
the Roonevelteri will draw equal
numbers from the Democratic ranks
and jo equalize things. They feel
sure of Taft's election, claiming that
that sentiment has turned grtatly
during the past few days toward
Taft.

There is no bitterness among the

platform Is to be along progressive
lines. It looks at present like there
will be a deadlock over the nomina?
